Abstract
We provide commentary on the paper by You et al., which proposed the ‘serosal invasion sign’ as a new criterion for T4a gastric cancer on CT. We clarify the anatomical relationship between the perigastric vessels and the serosa, correcting for an anatomical oversight in the original figures. We affirm the significance of this diagnostic sign in the T-staging of gastric cancer. Our insights aim to enhance the understanding and clinical application of this criterion in staging advanced gastric cancer.
